LETTER: Gay marriage shows slide into moral abyss

In reference to the article (Page A1, Sunday, July 20) about so-called gay marriage in the military, I, along with millions of other Americans, am just disgusted by our nation’s slide into a moral abyss.

We have been fed the lie that we can mock the God of heaven and escape a terrible chastisement. We cannot plead for protection in our prayers and at the same time spit upon every decent and holy principle given to us by our Creator for our happiness and well being.

If we are going to stupidly throw away every moral safeguard, then the military should welcome all who commit fornication or adultery and every other vile practice and make no pretense of having any moral code.

This is not the America that my ancestors fought for. Without obedience to the moral laws of God we shall be lost, and may God give us leaders who will defend virtue and common sense.
